Run a PTZ wall without adding operators

PTZ fleets grow faster than headcount. One person ends up responsible for a wall of cameras, and every switch costs seconds they do not have.

01 — The problem

Switching used to mean reconnecting

On most systems, moving the panel to another camera is a connection event. At 47 PTZs that is a serious tax on the operator, and it happens at the worst moments.

A studio rebuild cannot afford a control island that ignores the automation system already in place.

02 — What we do about it

All cameras controlled continuously

Because every camera is held under control at once, the panel follows the router instantly. AMP VISUAL TV ran a Bpifrance event with 47 Panasonic PTZ, one Dreamchip ATOM One and 10 broadcast cameras — 58 cameras — on 2 RCP.

Integration is documented with Probel SW-P-08, Lawo VSM, EVS Cerebrum, Evertz Magnum, TSL, Ember+, GPIO and ATEM.

03 — Why it holds up

What this actually buys you

01

Panel follows the monitor

The camera you are looking at is the camera under your hands.

02

Fits existing automation

No control island. It joins what is already there.

03

Two operators, 58 cameras

Documented, not theoretical.

04

Dashboard for bulk work

Group functions and initial setup happen off the panel.

Field report
“With the synchronization with VSM, it takes a fraction of a second to switch the preview to any camera and the RCP instantly controls that new camera… There's just no switching delay as the RCP does control all cameras continuously.”
